Prototype/MiningDrill
Basics
Prototype type: mining-drill
A mining drill. Based on Prototype/EntityWithHealth.
Mandatory properties
This prototype inherits the properties of Prototype/EntityWithHealth.
vector_to_place_result
Type: Types/vector
The position where the (mine) result is placed, when the mining drill is facing south (?).
resource_searching_radius
Type: Types/double
The distance from the centre of the mining drill to search for resources in.
This is 2.49 for electric mining drills (a 5x5 area) and 0.99 for burner mining drills (a 2x2 area). The drill searches resource outside its natural boundary box, which is 0.01 (the middle of the entity); making it 2.5 and 1.0 gives it another block radius.
energy_usage
Type: Types/Energy
The amount of energy used by the drill while mining. Can't be less than or equal to 0
mining_speed
Type: Types/double
The speed of this drill.
energy_source
Type: Types/EnergySource
The energy source of this mining drill.
resource_categories
Type: Types/string
The names of the Prototype/ResourceCategory that can be mined by this drill. For a list on built-in categories, see Data.raw#resource-category.
